Notably, in recent years it has been found the production of smallmolecule chemicals through directional liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass. Understanding the liquefactionmechanism of lignocellulosic biomass is highly important. In this review, the liquefaction mechanism of lignocellulosicbiomass and model compounds of cellulose are described, and some problems and suggestions to address them aredescribed.展开更多
